FUEL ECONOMY, ENGINE SPECS, AND TOWING CAPACITIES
One of the first dimensions you’ll want to consider when looking for a new set of wheels is engine specs and performance. The more well crafted an engine is, the better suited it is for the family explorations your crew has planned.
Under the hood of the 2021 Kia Sorento, you’ll find a 2.5-liter I-4 engine, delivering 191 horsepower and 182 lb-ft of torque for a smooth yet commanding drive. This motor also earns an EPA-estimated 24 city/29 highway MPG, so you can cruise around to your kids’ after-school activities, with minimal gas station stops.¹
With this fuel efficiency and a 17.7-gallon fuel tank, you can expect to journey just over 513 highway miles before needing to refuel.
TAKE PERFORMANCE TO THE NEXT LEVEL
If you’re looking for a little more pep to liven up your drive, upgrade to the turbocharged 2.5-liter motor. This powertrain increases output to 281 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque for quicker, more energetic acceleration.
Despite this boost in power output, this engine is still highly efficient, with an EPA-estimated 22 city/29 highway MPG.¹ With the same size fuel tank and highway fuel ratings, you can take a family getaway with minimal interruptions.
UPGRADE YOUR ADVENTURES
With such commanding engines comes enough muscle to bring a camper or a boat on your next road trip. If you need to move your daughter into her dorm room or take some kayaks to the lake for the weekend, the standard motor is ready, with a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 pounds when properly equipped.
However, if you need more pulling power, turn to the turbocharged engine. This brawnier powertrain offers a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds when properly equipped, so you can tow the following items:
- A couple of jet skis for a thrilling lake vacation
- A lightweight travel trailer for a family camping trip
- A couple of snowmobiles for exciting journeys into the mountains
- A lightly loaded utility trailer, with materials for simple home-improvement projects
- A small fishing boat for weekend trips with your buddies
No matter which amount of hauling power your family adventures call for, you’ll need to add on the optional tow hitch to enable your Sorento to carry it all.
EXTERIOR & WHEEL DIMENSIONS OF THE KIA SORENTO
While performance is crucial, there are many dimensions that go into creating a standout ride that are just as important. As we move to the exterior, we see that the 2021 Kia Sorento has even more impressive attributes worth mentioning.
For instance, it boasts the following commanding measurements:

- Rear Track: 65.4 inches
As you can see, this Kia SUV is fairly large, offering a take-charge presence on the open road. Despite this commanding exterior, it still has a low enough height that your children will have no issues climbing into the back seat.
The wheelbase and front and rear track measurements also assure you the Sorento can corner with proficient stability, whether you’re making your way around tight city roadways or winding country trails.

No matter which tire size and wheels appeal to you, the front-wheel drive Sorento has a ground clearance of 6.9 inches, enabling you to sail over obstacles in your path when taking road trips.
Looking to spice up summer vacations, with relaxing camping trips and treks to the mountains? Then, you’ll want to upgrade to all-wheel drive (AWD), which sends power to all four wheels as needed to combat uneven roadways.
When AWD is added, the ground clearance is increased to 8.2 inches along with an approach angle of 16.8 degrees and a departure angle of 22.1 degrees. All these measurements help you cruise over bumps and small rocks in the road with complete ease.
